...I dont drink anymore, but I dont drink any less!<br /><br />I remember we (as kids about 12-14) used to do dares where the guy with the guts (stupidity) to walk out to the edge of the river in winter time while it was partially frozen the furthest was the top dog. Of course one winter night 1 guy cracks the ice and goes in. By perhpas divine intervention we were able to get him out, but we were all wet head to toe with a mile walk to home in 10 degree weather. We all had to use shears to cut the frozen clothing from our bodies. Thats my cold water story. To this day I hate the cold after that terrible night.EconomicDisconnecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802078645713106743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-86602792264004171972009-07-10T20:24:04.815-04:002009-07-10T20:24:04.815-04:00GYSC

We had two vehicals so we parked one about 10 miles downstream and then took the other one back upstream. I had an electric trolling motor but no battery so we took the battery out of the upstream vehical to run the motor and launched that boat which was way overloaded. We got about 4 miles downstream and dumped that sucker, about drowned, froze our butts off, walked 6 miles soaking wet in the middle of the figging night without any flashlights, got pulled over by the cops when we hit town because the leads on the trolling motor were draging the ground, the only thing that went good that night is we didn't go to jail but we were pretty sober by then.<br />And they call those the good old days.

My SIL and grandson have been doing a lot of fishing out here and catching nice trout and bass. They went last weekend and one of his dogs got a mouthful of porcupine quills.<br />They are going to use my 10' John-boat and go this weekend. I haven't used that boat in over 10 years but I've had it for 36 now and just haven't been able to bring myself to getting rid of it.<br />I'll probably have that thing until the day I die. I just don't see myself ever using it again but one never knows does one?<br /><br />KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-58229085518510052822009-07-10T19:28:49.413-04:002009-07-10T19:28:49.413-04:00Thanks for the input Walker!

At some poi nt you have to take a hit, get off the florr, and continue on. Instead our way of doing things is too hold on tight and try to wait for the bell.EconomicDisconnecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802078645713106743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-44102356361676893822009-07-10T19:22:08.721-04:002009-07-10T19:22:08.721-04:00I was hit by the same thought as you. It is quite ...I was hit by the same thought as you. It is quite the head scratcher. Except for the fact it is not free money that is being printed. It is money we the tax payers will have to pay back. <br /><br />Also most of this printed money is going into big pockets, not my pockets, yet I who get no benefit, retain all the burden of that debt. The only way the inflation scenario could work is if the bailouts bailed me and the rest of the middle class out of all our debt. If that happened then our money could once again chase products, causing their value to rise, causing demand to rise, causing production to rise, thereby causing inflation to overcome deflation which could lead to a reversal of the unemployment problem.<br /><br />The only problem is this does not appear to be the true underlying goal. The true underlying goal appears to be big financial takes care of itself and eachother and the rest of us and our children can pay for it although we recieved no benefit.<br /><br />Even if my better scenario actually could come to pass, and we the people were bailed out, we would not really be bailed out. If we were in a system where the treasuries of all the countries printed more and bailed us out then it could possibly work, for all money would devalue at the same pace, as is true with our past. (todays dollar is worth a nickle comapared to 1930's).<br /><br />But We are not in a system where the treasuries can print and bailout. <br /><br />We are in a system where we borrow the bailout money from the Central banks. Therefor in our current system even if we did bail out ourselves, it would not be a true fix because our taxes would have to be raised by extreme amounts to pay back the central banks to keep this party going.<br /><br />The only true fix is to take our punishment, suffer through the correction that needs to take place, stop borrowing (enslaving ourselves to the central banks), and Abolish the Federal Reserve.<br />http://www.petitiononline.com/fed/petition.html<br /><br />Five presidents predicted all of this mess.

As long as it gets here before mid-October.<br /><br />I'm flying my brother in from Maine, and a bunch of friends of mine from all over the country are all going to converge in Dallas to watch the Cowboys play the Falcons in the new stadium. It's going to be a game and one hell of a party. And I'm going in style.<br /><br />When I go to Cowboys games, I always wear a tailored silver suit, blue silk tie and a grey fedora. Hundreds of people ask me to pose for pictures. The cameraman for NFL Films once asked me to pose by the bronze of Tom Landry, and I made the highlights of the replay on NFL Network! That was at the Indianapolis game in 06.<br /><br />So it's a lot of fun.GawainsGhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719480047404817864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-5408412424052687922009-07-09T22:08:48.108-04:002009-07-09T22:08:48.108-04:00Lisa PS,

And they're all over the county.<br /><br />I probably drove over 100 miles today. And that's not even the worst part. It was 107 degrees! Any of you guys want to try standing in an un-airconditioned repossessed home with no electricity and no water in that kind of heat? All day long?<br /><br />I'm exhausted, and I'm drinking a Heineken to replenish lost body fluids.<br /><br />Anyway, I hope you enjoy your fishing trip, GYC.
